Chronotype and personality factors in the daily consumption of alcohol and psychostimulants

ADAN, ANA·1994·Addiction

Abstract

This paper analyses the influence of and possible interaction between chronotype (Morning-types, Neither-types and Evening-types) and personality dimensions (neuroticism, extroversion and psychoticism) in the daily consumption of alcohol and psychostimulants (nicotine and caffeine). In a sample of 537 subjects (257 men and 280 women), who were students and professionals with different but fixed work schedules, there were significant differences among the chronotypes regarding the consumption of all the above. Evening-types consumed more alcohol, nicotine and caffeine (coffee and cola), while Morning-types consumed more caffeine from tea. Personality was only related to the consumption of cola: the greater the neuroticism the higher the consumption of this beverage. Stimulant drinks showed various types of interaction with personality types, which revealed a complex pattern of group action. The results stress the need to consider chronotype as a contributory psychological factor in a multi-causal model of consumption of psychoactive substances.

  • In a study involving students and professionals, individuals with an evening chronotype consumed more alcohol, coffee, and cola, whereas morning types consumed more tea.

    “In another study involving students and professionals, individuals with an evening chronotype were found to consume more alcohol, coffee, and cola, whereas morning types consumed more tea (86).”
  • Eveningness, or the tendency toward a late chronotype, has been consistently linked with increased alcohol involvement in adults and adolescents.

    “Eveningness, or the tendency toward a late chronotype, has been consistently linked with increased alcohol involvement in adults (Adan, 1994; Wittmann et al., 2006) and adolescents (Gau et al., 2007; Negriff et al., 2011; Pieters et al., 2010; Saxvig, Pallesen, Wilhelmsen-Langeland, Molde, & Bjorvatn, 2012; Tavernier & Willoughby, 2013; Urbán, Magyaródi, & Rigó, 2011)).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
